Darren Aronofsky Thinks Christian Bale Would Make a Great Noah

Plus, a big name like Bale, what with “The Dark Knight Rises” due out next year and sure to blow away the box office and thus make Bale’s name even more in demand, would definitely get Aronofsky the $130 million dollars he needs to make his biblical epic “Noah”, his “edgy” re-telling of the Noah’s Ark story from that big ol book called the Bible.

Or at least, that’s the going rumor from Vulture. It makes sense, of course, but the site is very hit and miss (lately, it’s been very miss) with these casting rumors, so take it for what you will.

Aronofsky will eventually direct from a script by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage.
